A: For the sites that we do not plan on using the site and it is not on our Watch List or our Scam List, we will use your referral link if it is submitted to us in a decent fashion.
For example, don't send us over 20 sites with a bunch of referral links. We are not your personal downline builder!
If you are genuinely interested in a site or you are currently using it and would like for us to use your referral we will try to do so. If we plan on using the site for ourselves we will sign up under you. If we don't plan on using the site and the site is not on our scam list or watch list we will use your referral link in the banner of our review.
Q: How can I be a partner and have my link displayed on your site?A: We are trying to come up with a solution so we can add partner links to our site. We tried this before with our older blog site and the number of link submissions got overwhelming and made the pages load too slow... due to the numerous amount of links that was being displayed. So what we are thinking of doing is just add one page designated for those who wish to have their blog or site listed. Kind of like a directory. You can find the Official Partner Page Here:
http://ptc-investigation.com/Partner.aspxLeave a comment in the comment section on this page and we will review your site and if approved we will add you to the page. The link to Partner page (not to your site) will be added to the pages throughout PTC Investigations.
<----Those who are serious about being a partner with PTC Investigations can request to be in the "Official Partner" Rotator. As seen on your left. It is being displayed throughout our site on every page.
In order to go on this rotator you will need to have a 200 x 200 banner. You can send your banner link and site link here:
http://ptc-investigation.com/contactus.aspx Please note that this is for well kept blogs or established sites. Not for those who create a blog and slap a few banners for the sake of gaining referrals. Other review sites are welcome and sites that post proofs and feedback about the sites they currently use. They must be virus free, and not promoting scam sites.
A: We can give you some ideas. Some might not work for everyone. Depending on your talents and how willing you are to work for it.... but here are a few ways you can get some refs:
- Blogging - Why not? Isn't your experience worth knowing? Help others and share it. Tell them about your failures and your successes. If you plan on using blogger or WordPress, your blog will most likely be deleted for spam. A lot of blog sites consider PTC blogs as spam. We would recommend Weebly as an alternative to blogger. It is free and easy to set up. More info: http://weebly.com
- Exchanges - There are a few forums and sites out there who offer referral exchanges. Where you join one of their sites and they will do the same for you. We personally haven't tried it, but I have heard that it works for some. Give it a try, it can't hurt. Here are a few places where you can explore this idea:
http://www.talkptc.com/index.php?board=5.0 - Make a video - Any good at making videos? Show people how your site pays and show them proof through a video. Post it on youtube. Might work, if you are creative.
- Traffic Exchange - This might or might not work. Depends on the site or blog you are promoting. There are sites that allow you to advertise your blog, site or affiliate banner, for free. But like all good things, it isn't totally free. It is going to use up your time. If you have free time, then this might be a good option for you. The way traffic exchanges work, is that you click on ads and sites and in return they will show your ad on their site to other viewers like you. Here is one of the exchanges that we use and they pay you after so many ad views. For more info go HERE.
- Social Network Sits - Many use social network sites like facebook, to earn referrals. Set up a page on
facebook and start sharing your experience about PTC sites. However try
not to spam people's facebook walls or it could result in a complaint
against yourfor spamming.
Other social network sites like KlickJobs.biz can also help you get referrals for free. Be sure to read their rules and conditions on how to participate in their free program http://www.klickjobs.biz/
Q: I want to translate your reviews in my language and use your reviews on my blog, can I use your work?A: We rather that you didn't. We believe that people should use their own words and ideas in their own works. We already have clone ptc sites, god knows we don't need clone review sites. I don't mind if you quote me or paraphrase, but do not copy our entire work and screen shots and make it yours. We have some who will come here and ask us to do a review, then shortly after we do the review... we notice our entire review on their site and with no credit given for our work. It is disrespectful and a lazy thing for them to do.
Q: Can I help or can I work for you, I wont charge much.A:Thanks for the offer to help, but unfortunately we are not able to take on any employees. This is a privately ran blog and we only do this in our spare time. There is not enough time in our given schedule to have to deal with employees, do reviews, and do our daily clicks.
Q: I like to know which sites you use and you would recommend.A: Most of the sites we are currently using are on the
Elite List,
Legit List, and
Paid List.
Q: Ok, then where can I find a list of sites that allow me to have a lot of referrals?
Try our "Options" page.
http://ptc-investigation.com/options.aspx
Q. What is the difference between Legit and Elite? I don't understand why you have these two lists. Shouldn't there be only one for the sites that are currently paying?
A: No, there shouldn't. There are sites that are currently paying, but they have not been online that long. Why would we mix them in with the sites that have fully proven themselves ? The sites on our Elite List is the sites that have been around for a long time and have very few complaints. The sites on our Legit List, are just OK sites, and they are paying...but they are not well established or haven't been online that long. They can be a OK site to use one day, and a scam tomorrow. Which is why we separate them. We put the best of the best on one list, and leave the rest on the other.
Q:Why didn't you respond to my comment or email?
A: Usually it takes up to 48hrs for us to respond. If we did not respond we are away and not online.
Also, if you are asking about a site that was
already listed, and you are asking if it is a scam or if it is legit...
we will not respond. Again, our time is limited. Why should we respond to something that is clearly posted throughout the site? Use search or the
master list. It wont bite! I promise.
Q: I want to advertise on your site and I will pay you. How can I set up advertising?
A: We currently accepting advertisers through
AdHitz. For more info:

Q: I think your site is great and I would like to make a donation. How can I send you a donation?A: Thank you, and it is appreciated, however we do not accept donations. We like to keep this site free to use and not have to deal with anyone's money.
Q: I just found out one of the sites I was using was a scam. I didn't buy any upgrades or anything... but how can I make them pay me?A: Good question...and we wish I knew. The simple answer is, you can't. Consider yourself lucky that you didn't pay for anything from them. The only thing you can do is report them at any of these places listed on
this page. Warn others and don't let them continue to make a profit by stealing from others . If we can get more people to submit these complaints the better chance we have to stop them from scamming other people. When no one complains and does nothing, then the site is able to keep the scam going. We need to hit them hard in the search engines. Even better, start your own blog and post your experience about sites you have joined. The good, the bad, and the down right dirty scams.
Q:
Why is Neobux on the scam list?A: Check the list again, make sure you are reading the correct list. The master list is not a scam list. We have a list that combines all sites into one list, which we call the master list. Think of it like a master key that unlocks all doors. That is what our master list does. Gives access to every single review on our site.
Q: I see a site that I am using on the scam list, can you tell more more about it?A: If you see your site on a list, check and see if the name is in hyperlink. Click on the name of that site and you will see all info we currently have on this site. If the site is pending a full review we will review it as soon as we can. Our time is limited and we do have a real job outside of blogging. Feel free to leave info or updates in our comment section so we can update and warn others.
Q: Why are so many of my favorite sites on your scam list? Are there any legit PTR sites?
A: Yikes, that is not a good sign. Most likely you are using sites that offer high rates per click. We hope that you did not upgrade on any of these site either. Most legit paying sites, only pay 2 cents per click, and that is the max. All others are scams. There re GPT sites that pay for completed offers. But those tasks can take from 20-30 minutes to complete. Which explains the rates.
Q:
Which sites I can earn $1 per click and are not scams?
A: NONE. Plain and simple. Any PTC site that says this or promises this amount, are scams. Most sites will pay at most 1 cent or under, and even that is pushing it.
There are GPT sites that you can earn $1 for a completed task. Like completing a survey...but these tasks can be time consuming and are not as simple as clicking a ad. Hence the pay for the offer.
More Q & A coming soon...
